I use an automotive engine hoist. it also works great for moving attachments, and getting them in and out of my truck
I considered getting an engine hoist years back. It was more convenient to borrow a friends at the time. But, I'm pretty much set-up good now that I got the chain hoist. I should have gotten one YEARS ago.
I mounted an electric winch up near the peak of the garage and use it to lift mowers for sharpening and deer for skinning. Pulling engines is so easy as is changing tires on the light stuff. I've thought about rigging up a lift for push mowers so that they stay straight and I can get them up where I need them to be to stay off the floor.

That's using your head. The winch is a versatile tool to have also. And I can relate to hanging deer. The big ones take some muscle if hanging by hand. I'm guilty!!

I use a note book and write down a complete log as I take the tractor apart. I also record bolt size, length, and type of washers. It can be put back together in reverse order.
Someone's on the right topic. That's a good plan. Unfortunately I sort of dove in to tearing my 140 apart. I did however bag-n-tag for easy assembly.
By the way, I notice you also are in Wa State. Where abouts? I'm on the soggy coast.

This is what I use most of the time. It is a home built 75% scale engine hoist and will basically do anything I need it to. Made it smaller so the neighbors can't borrow it to change engines in their vehicles. Roger
I thought the stand looked a bit small. Then again, good plan to fend off the neighbor. Hehe.
